"A woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet.

Tuesday, 8-15-18

Jesus, from the cross, gave Mary unto the care of John, who ended his days at Smyrna on the Aegian coast. And, from the beginning Christians have passed on the story that from the end of her days, Mary was taken bodily into heaven.

John, toward the end of his days, composed the highly poetic "Book of Revelation" the New Testament's longest and most complex book. From the beginning, Christians have identified Mary as the woman clothed with the sun, the moon beneath her feet."
